Bio-integrated Electronics for the Human

Conventional robotic technologies hold many promises to advance disease diagnosis and therapeutic research by enabling precise sensing and actuation in a small scale, leading to implantable, portable, or even wearable biomedical systems. These modern medical devices interfaced with our body are rigid, bulky, and remains permanently. However, biological organs and systems are soft and curvilinear, time-dynamic, and the pathways to internal organs are small and narrow. Technologies that bridge this gap should be investigated for advanced healthcare by creating devices that provide intimate, minimally invasive, and bio-resolvable interface with the human body so that people cannot feel the existence of the device. To address this issue, based on modern robotics and advanced material integration technologies, I will present our effort on ‘Soft and wireless bio-integrated electronics’ which are designed to be conformal, strain limiting, and stretchable forms of biomedical devices with multiple modalities and wireless capabilities
